Over at Watts Up With That?, Willis Eschenbach posted a great look into the EPA imposing the first US rules on CO2. He had two questions, how much will it cost to reduce CO2 emissions, and how much will the decreased CO2 reduce the temperature? According to EPA's own estimates, they say that the new regulations will cost US$78 billion per year. And how much will it reduce the temperature? Based on the reanalysis the results for projected atmospheric CO2 concentrations are estimated to be reduced by an average of 2.9 ppm (previously 3.0 ppm), global mean temperature is estimated to be reduced by 0.006 to 0.0015 °C by 2100. OK, now to run the numbers: Total Cost = US$78 billion per year times 90 years = US$7 trillion dollars with a t, or about half a years GDP for the US. Total Cooling = 0.00375° C in 90 years That gets us to where we can make the final calculation
US$7 trillion divided by 0.00375°C gives us
wait for it
US$1,900 trillion dollars for each measly degree of cooling. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/03/13/how-much-would-you-buy/

And to anyone with half a clue about temperature metrology, the idea that we can even measure worldwide average temperature to a tenth of a degree C, let alone a few thousandths, is just the height of absurdity. I don’t know how these so-called “scientists” look themselves in the mirror. There is no way in hell their theories can be tested against the real world.
